[Google recently announced][poodle] that there is an exploit in SSLv3, this vulnerability is know as POODLE. There is no other option than to disable SSLv3 in order to combat this major flaw. There have already been [guides on how to disable this in different servers][guides]. But nothing excised for Node.js yet, until now.
